Israeli forces shot and killed a Palestinian young man, on Saturday morning, while he was present at the Qalandia military roadblock, north of occupied Jerusalem.
The Palestinian Health Ministry confirmed the death of the young man, Tariq Amjad Musa Ghazawneh, 27, adding that his body was transported to the Palestine Medical Complex in Ramallah.
Media sources said that occupation soldiers stationed at the Qalandia military roadblock, opened fire at the young man with live ammunition, causing serious injuries.
The Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS) said that its ambulance crews received the body of the slain man at the Qalandia military roadblock, after soldiers denied him medical treatment, leaving him on the ground bleeding.
